Great guitar at remarkable price

20.02.2017

This is a great guitar full stop. I own 2 Mexican Fenders and whist the neck profile is little fatter than those, (not massively so) it plays really well, it came today equipped with what feel like 10's; not sure what brand, that I will replace with 9's and action was a little higher than I have on my other strats but craftsmanship is very good, there are no glaring mistakes not that you'd noticed with the distressed look, the distressing looks as though it was actually road worn, I think in all honesty I prefer a modern c neck with a thin lacquer but this is very much with the current revival of sanded necks and has that 60's vibe to it.

The guitar feels very light compared to an alder body, the fretwork is very good, better than on the mexican strats but the fretboard is just a little dry and needed lemon oil and a bit of playing to break in.

The pickups sound good, like a strat, the heights were set rather odd, never seen a strat with the pickups nearer the low E than High, so I will be readjusting these to my taste.

The bukka switch is great, it really works.

One thing that isn't really a criticism was that the tone control nearest volume has no effect on the neck pickup this is instead the latter tone control containing the bukka switch.

Wilkinson pickups and hardware I believe are the same used in Harley Benton and they seem very good quality.

Great Bargain!

Really nice tone for the money. Playablity is also better than most of the "strats". Overall I´m satisfied. Like almost all guitars you have to adjust the neck, bridge, PU´s etc. to fit your hand, but it took me less than few hours. You can find really nice Hendrix and SRV tone rather easily. It´s actually really silent for single-coil guitar which is really nice feature on bigger volumes.
